Non Profit Grant Blog

1. Conan the Librarian Said,

   I work as a technical writer in Seattle, and I often write grants for my clients.

   You need exceptional organization skills and superior writing skills. Be prepared to coordinate documents (ranging from 200 to 2000 pages) with dozens of co-workers in all levels of management (from the little guy in the cubicle, right up to the CEOs).

   I have a BA in English, and have taken many courses in technical/professional/business writing.

   I make $52,000 a year, and that is as a contractor. Full time writers can expect to make 10 to 30 percent more.
